Sawiris Foundation launches SACS scholarships for art
The Sawiris Foundation for Social Development offers a great chance for students of art to have better quality education under the Sawiris Art and Culture Scholarships (SACS) in line with the Sustainable Development Goals 4 on Quality Education.
The door is open for applying for SACS until mid March, while winners of the scholarships will be announced in June, 2020.
Applicants will have a chance to study at universities in Europe, the UK and North America.
Winners will be opted out by an external selection committee, consisting of prominent experts in the field of arts and culture in addition to representatives from Sawiris Foundation for Social Development.
The scholarships cover tuition fees, learning materials, living allowance, travel expenses, and health insurance for up to four years for bachelor’s degree and up to two years for master’s degree.
The scholarships also cover the fields of music, singing, theater, drama, dance, musical theater, folklore, acting, directing, play writing as well as filmmaking, script writing, film production and directing.
They also cover the fields of fine arts, sculpture, design (including graphic design, costume design, product design, light design), fashion design, photography and video art.
Applicants will have a chance to study at universities in Europe, the UK and North America.
The Sawiris Arts and Culture Scholarship program targets highly motivated, talented and socially engaged applicants, who are aware of the important role art plays in a flourishing and developing society. It aims at fostering these talents until they themselves are effective artists in the scene, who in return enrich their country and society with their acquired knowledge in their designated fields.
The Sawiris Foundation for Social Development has always been proud for working on ensuring quality education both traditional and nontraditional accessible to everyone. One of the foundation’s goals is to ensure all students have an accessible and inclusive environment to learn.
